Only because the current management culture doesn’t understand, encourage or do anything to create them.

Generally it’s very difficult to survive as a good manager in most large enterprises as the culture is toxic. And that culture is because of poor leadership at the top — CEO culture in American companies is divested of human sensitivity and deeply entrenched in exploitative ethos. “You got to do what you got to do.” It’s simply not true and many founder lead companies prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that companies don’t have to be run the way they do. But that’s the collective belief of the Harvard Business reading crowd.

The wage issues, environmental externalities, and people’s failing faith in the economically-driven society that has been so successful for so long reveals a system out of balance.

These are all management and leadership failures, be it inside of corporations or government. Few workers inside of the system glow about their bosses or the effectiveness of their leadership teams. And many that do only do so because of the contrast to terrible leadership they have experienced.

So I agree with you that there is a dearth of good leadership. What can we do about it?

It’s certainly much better than it was 20 years ago.
